To Live as an Asian Woman

Bag om To Live as an Asian Woman

An artist's inventory of offhand and everyday anti-Asian languageIn this slim artist's book, Utrecht-based artist Seulbin Roh (born 1996), of Asian descent, collects a variety of discriminatory comments and questions she has heard and overheard in the course of daily life--casually racist or sexist language that Asian people endure constantly in Europe and the US. "I can't imagine myself being in a relationship with an Asian man"; "is it really tight down there?"; "I like Korean food better than Chinese food. You know what food means here, right?"--these and many more offhand remarks are compiled by Roh and laid bare across the pages of this book to starkly present their banality and their racism. The book reads in English starting from the front and Korean from the back.
